In Dan Yaccarino’s cute picture book, Unlovable, poor Alfred the pug is teased and bullied into thinking that he is too ugly, too little and too slow to be loved by anyone. Then a new dog called Rex moves into the house next door. As Alfred and Rex can’t see each other over the garden fence, Alfred pretends to be something he’s not. Will their friendship survive when Rex finds out who Alfred really is? Yaccarino’s lovely story about kindness, honesty and the true meaning of friendship, accompanied by brightly coloured illustrations, will appeal to even the youngest dog lovers.
